Threaded View

Hello people, been searching the net for hours now and trying many things, but I can't find a sollution to my problem.

I have a 4GB MTS file (1920x1080p 25fps) that should contain 35 minutes of video. Unfortunatly it only plays 17 minutes of it, then it stops. Tried to convert it, load it into Adobe Premiere Pro, but everytime it only shows up the first 17 minutes.

Is there anyway to recover all the video? It should be there, because there are enough bytes in the file right?

I've seen allot of very clever people around here, so I'm hoping you can help me out!

Hi - did you manage to fix this? My Canon HF200 battery went flat while recording and has corrupted the last 15 .MTS files. They all exist in various sizes (60MB - 1.2GB) adn I have retrieved them and copied to my hard drive. However, they all suffer the same problem - they are all only 3 seconds in length (even though the clip sizes are all different). I fear the camera has corrupted something in the files to cause this, but I'm hoping that somehow the data is still there. This is my friends wedding and I was the video man -- help!!! Any idea much appreciated.

Hi,
thanks for your post. I have tried tsmuxer and it get's the following error while trying to demux

Not enought buffer for parse video stream. Current frame num 142, and it halts.

I have also just tried the beta version of videoredo, and it is also tricked into thinking the file is only 3 seconds long. I tried using the quickstream fix, but the output is a much smaller file with only 3 seconds worth of footage.

I'm trying recuva to see if perhaps the files didn't copy properly, but I'm doubtful.

Hello ! I have unfortunately a similar problem with corrupt mts file. I have a Panasonic SD 90 and tried to register Full Hd video at 50p (the maximum resolution for this videocamera) on a Kingston 16 Gb SD card. I had many problems and I switched at 1920x1080i. When I copied the file from the SD Card to the pc only 6 files were correct, many (and I underline many) others are there but are unreadable. I tried the tool you provided to umgrad but it doesnīt work with me. Could I also provide a sample ?
Thank you very much in advance !!

Hi, it seems the Panasonic does NOT like Kingston Class 10 cards, I tried with 4 different cards, and a friend also, we have the same equipment. With class 4 no problem at all. This in 50i, not tested in 50p. The tool is recovering from the SD card directly, and you must answer some questions. Did you try on SD card? I'm now abroad until end of July, and need the SD card to test, so it will be a bit difficult. May be your problem is different?? Eventually we can retry end of July if you want...

Thank you for your reply. The Kingston is Class 4. If I go in the folder F:\PRIVATE\AVCHD\BDMV\STREAM I can see the entire list of file and the size, date, etc. I can also copy the file from there to any other folder on the pc. But when I try to open with any software I get a message like Unknown format, type mismatch and so on. Itīs like something in the header of the file is corrupt, but data are still there ( I hope ...). I tried also to recvoery data from SD but as I told you the files are not deleted. I can wait till end of July, no problem. But Iīam very angry with Panasonic because not 1, but 2 SD cards gave me problems, also another one, no brand 32 Gb class 4. I was in Cuba where I can let you imagine is quite impossible to get a new one. Ok maybe the quality of a no brand is not sure, but I think that for the best resolution the videorecorder need a Class 10 card and the price of a very good card is very high ! So make these videocameras not really good value. Sorry for boring you...

I tried to use the method indicated that the soopafresh, put the files in the same folder as he indicated, I started the file. bat, but did not work. Can anyone help me with this. Thanks to immense help.

Thanks for trying, but the program can not open the file, do the test and stop. I do not know what else to do. The ts-doctor appears to be a very good program, but the file was recovered from a partition and not wanting to open.

Thanks to your fast help I have come to a sullotion. First I demux the mp4 (My Mp4Box GUI worked!) Then I have to import the videofile and the sound seperatly to Premiere. Not a perfect sollution but atleast I can edit our holiday videos =)

I have a mac and have been studying this thread but no solutions have helped me so far!

My situation:

Recently shot a 50 minute teaching segment on my Sony FS700. I recorded to a 32gb SD card Class 10. I've done this numerous times before but for some reason this time around... I cannot import one of the MTS files to my computer from the card. The footage plays fine on the camera... I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue in the past?

I've tried a different card reader, a different computer, and I've also tried importing the footage through the camcorder itself using USB. No success! It copies about half the mts file then gives me a (-36 error message) and ejects the SD card automatically!

[edit] sorry just dawned on me you said mac. bummer. error 36 is a files permission error. you need to take ownership of the file. i don't have a clue how you do it on a mac. maybe someone else does. [/edit]

insert the card into the computer's reader. right click on the drive icon/properties/tools. try windows error checking with recover sectors checked.
